cheshire...
By red_haze
i wear my cheshire smile.
so sincerely made of lies...
i'm decorated just for you.
and i'm straining...
nauseated by the effort...
but it makes no difference.
...you won't see me.
because you're alice today.
...and your alice hates cats.

This one's interesting in that it's from another perspective. Mostly, these poems are about being lied TO, rather than lying, yourself. It's nicely done, and a good change of pace. I commend you.

Maybe Alice likes truths... honesty's the best tool out there, you just have to learn how to use it to its fullest.

Show dear Alice something real about you, stun her with that which is yourself, and she'll fly towards you like a car to one of those huge junkyard magnets.

thank you for the lovely comments. and perhaps he does like truths. but people never seem to present that side. i suppose we all like the pretty lies best most times.

I think we only like the pretty lies because we so rarely see the truths... but if someone were to show me truth, it would drag me in quickly.
